refracman 166 #1 Posted March 9, 2008 Found this pile a couple of weeks back, decided this is the one goin to show the motor runs and its missin a few odds and ends but the tins are all there, so its time to sand, sand balst, sand some more, paint , sand, paint, sand and hopefully get the paint right. did i mention it was a basket case? This is my first little one, seems to be a whole lot less parts than a GT, this should go quik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rollerman 290 #5 Posted March 9, 2008 Steve after all the hardwork you put into your C195 you should blow right through a 753! Looks like the hoods in decent shape...are the other parts in the bucket below the fuel tank? I bet you'll make it look real good....your daughter will probably take it over & you might get your C back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stigian 1,234 #6 Posted March 9, 2008 Look like a nice little project Steve, im sure you have it done in no time Keep us updated wont you :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 166 #7 Posted April 1, 2008 Finaly found some time to work on the 753, got the tins blasted most the major dents knocked out and all the stress crackes ground out and welded and in primer. But with spring fast comein on us have to get the C120 ready for sale and most likely the loader GT is goin up for sale too. So they been wraped up and put away for now. Still have to do the frame, steering, seat assembly and motor. And the show is comein up FAST! Maybe the 195 will make the road trip after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,337 #8 Posted April 1, 2008 Steve, I can't wait to see the end result of this project. I have a free 753 coming, and though it may be headed elsewhere, I would love to see it getting this treatment. I hope there is enough time for you can work on this tractor.

Rollerman 290 #10 Posted April 1, 2008 Looks like it's going to be top notch Steve. Are you shooting the primer in a seperate garage? I'd like to try an air gun out...but afraid of the overspray at my place. Looking forward to seeing it all done too. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 166 #11 Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks guys, Stephen, I've been useing the blast cabinet i made last yr and its in the garage up front. i primered these peices in the shop (spray bomb). I have yet to primer with a gun yet dont know why though Its 52" x 32" x 32" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 166 #12 Posted April 8, 2008 Got the rest of the part blasted out side with the pot blaster, still need to get a seat pan and clean it up. Hopefully primer these parts tomorrow night. At this rate it should be done by show time. I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stigian 1,234 #16 Posted April 8, 2008 Good to see that work is progressing Steve Your blast cabinet is a handy bit of kit to have about the place :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg B. 1 #17 Posted April 8, 2008 Steve, That blast cabinet is a good looking piece of work. I had to give mine up two moves ago. With the "brown" horse, I see another in my future. They're not hard to build, but they are space hogs. The tractor is coming along great. Greg B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
